I took entirely too long to write this review due to all the moving parts of the holidays, however - I cannot recommend this home, location, and host enough! He took the time to decorate for us because we were doing an early gift exchange with our grandbaby, left a fireplace on the tv, set up lights outside, and prepared the home for an absolute beautiful welcome!

Before even arriving I was most grateful to the host for granting us last minute changes to accommodate our visit. Communication was timely, clear and the changes were made without a snag. The home has all one could need for a comfortable stay and the location is quite convenient.

The kitchen was very well stocked. The place was easy to find. Overall very clean. The eating area was large enough for our group to eat leftovers from all the local restaurants. Great location with tons of food options. The games in the living room were a nice added touch. Recommend.

We were traveling to meet with my family for Xmas. Plus I had my in-laws who were visiting from Ecuador. We arrived at night. Only issue we had was there are no numbers on the house or painted on the curb. We actually got out with a flashlight to see if we were at the right place. A neighbor saw us and told which house. We did not use the kitchen except to make coffee. The location was really good. As we had dinner at the Chart House. I would like to stay there this weekend if possible.

Everything was clean, kitchen had paper towels (idk why I appreciate this so much when it happens lol), plenty of towels, throw blankets, TVs, easy parking, and host had the AC on for us before we got there so it wasn’t super hot inside. The host was accommodating to my service dog. The neighborhood was cute and there is food within walking distance. Highly recommend
